What happened to using Burke in that role like last year? It seems he thrived in that role versus the shorter role they have him in this year.

Also, Ragans was supposed to be in that same role and I don't think he has pitched longer than 2 innings more than 2 or 3 times.

Ragans and Burke should be able to cover Dunning's old role, which is a much lesser role now any way.

Hopefully he picks up the pace. He hasn’t performed up to last year in my book

Not surprised at all

exactly. degrom hasn't been but he can't stay healthy

Positive of that is because of Dunning we are able to overcome his being out. If we could continue this trend we could baby deGrom somewhat and have him healthy for the playoffs. Not an easy thing to maneuver but a luxury. We have to beef up our BP and looking at AAA there's not a lot to choose from there.

No Garver in the lineup tonight. I guess DHing is wearing him out. Lol

Owen White with a poor outing.

More importantly, Speas had another fine inning in relief. 12 pitches and 9 were strikes. No hits, no walks and 2 strikeouts.

Speas has only given up an earned run in one outing this year.

Everytime big stench goes deep he gets another months worth of at bats.

I don't even remember hearing about Abimelec Ortiz before this year. He is putting together a fine year. He is 21 and this is his third year in the system. His career OPS is .830. This year it is up over 1.000

As he should don’t you think?

Speas lost it all and came back. Now being used in leverage situations. Bet he is now fearless

Good omen and a possible solution for late inning arm

Not going to lie

these early day games before an off day suck for fans. No rangers for 48 hours +
